GayTies News for March 21, 2019

Our Worse Selves

Lori Lightfoot, an out lesbian candidate for mayor in Chicago, has gained key endorsements from across the political spectrum and appears to have the edge in the home stretch of the race despite getting hit with a vicious... Show more

last-minute wave of homophobic flyers distributed outside of churches.
Lightfoot, the former president of the Chicago Police Board, narrowly edged out the two closest vote-getters in a crowded election on February 26, but fell well short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff. She garnered slightly more than 97,000 votes, or 17.54 percent, while Cook County Board president Toni Preckwinkle trailed closely behind with 16.04 percent of the vote. President Barack Obama’s former chief of staff, Bill Daley — whose father, Richard J. Daley, and brother, Richard M. Daley, previously served as mayors of Chicago — wasn’t too far behind in third place, as he notched 14.78 percent.
The 56-year-old Lightfoot is vying to become the first black woman and first openly LGBTQ person to be elected mayor of Chicago in the April 2 runoff, but her sexual orientation has become a hot topic in the final weeks. Misleading flyers about her LGBTQ positions were posted around the city in recent days — and

Another St. Pat’s Win for Inclusivity

Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, “Get Out,” is one of the most acclaimed American films of this decade. Needless to say, his second film “Us” arrives in theaters with a lot of baggage, particularly because the recept... Show more

the reception of “Get Out” felt like a political event as much as a cultural one. Coming one month after Trump’s inauguration, the massive commercial success of “Get Out” felt like a widespread acknowledgement of the persistence of white supremacy under new and more subtle guises. “Us” moves in a new direction, simultaneously artier and closer to conventional genre fare.
The film starts out in 1986. A young girl named Adelaide goes to a beach in Santa Cruz with her family. The excursion turns creepy. Heading into a mirrored funhouse, she sees her doppelganger. “Us” then takes us to the present, where the adult Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), her husband Gabe (Winston Duke) and their children Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph) and Jason (Evan Alex) are driving to their summer house for a vacation. Their expectations of relaxation are shattered by a power outage and, an instant later, the arrival of four strangers who look exactly like them but are dressed in clothes that resemble prison jumpsuit

Bolsonaro: US, Brazil United in Promoting Hetero Norms

or the first time.
Every March, communities cross the New York area hold parades in honor of the Irish saint and to celebrate Ireland’s culture, and each year it seems at least one more becomes inclusive. In 2019, however, there remains one stubborn holdout — I’m looking at you, Staten Island.
The Manhattan parade and traditional Mayor’s Breakfast were held Saturday, March 16, a day before the official holiday. It’s a sign of the times that Irish-American LGBTQ activist and filmmaker Brendan Fay was invited to introduce the morning’s program and Mayor Bill de Blasio at Gracie Mansion. Fay was a member of the Irish Lesbian and Gay Organization that originally protested Manhattan’s exclusionary policies in the early 1990s, and he went on to found both the Lavender & Green Alliance, which now marches on Fifth Avenue, and the inclusive St. Pat’s for All Parade in Queens.
“It was quite a difference to be preparing remarks to introduce the day and the mayor in contrast with preparing to

correctness.
“May I say that Brazil and the United States stand side by side in their efforts to ensure liberties in respect to traditional family lifestyles, respect to God, our creator against the gender ideology or politically correct attitudes and against fake news,” Bolsonaro said.
Trump did not address Bolsonaro’s comments on LGBTQ rights, but later complimented him on using the term “fake news.” During a subsequent question and answer session with the press, reporters did not ask the two leaders about those comments or LGBTQ issues.
Bolsonaro’s remarks, made during his highly anticipated visit to the US, represent the latest twist in his longstanding pattern of homophobia dating back to his time in Brazil’s Congress. He once described himself as “homophobic — and very proud of it,” and upon taking office as president he immediately took action against LGBTQ rights by removing those issues from the Ministry of Women, Family, and Human Rights.

Equality Act Rejected by Dem Senator, Former Log Cabin Leader

In a three-page notice to the Pentagon, US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly reminded the Trump administration that the nationwide preliminary injunction she issued in October 2017 against the proposed ban on tran... Show more

sgender military service remains in place, at least until such time as the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit issues a final mandate in its review of her order.
The notice offered a bit of caution against the Defense Department’s March 12 announcement that it planned to implement within 30 days the ban on military service first announced in a series of tweets by President Donald Trump in July 2017.
In a brief order issued on January 4, followed by written opinions released on March 8, the Circuit Court vacated Kollar-Kotelly’s injunction, directing her to reconsider whether the transgender plaintiffs were entitled to a preliminary injunction.
Since three other injunctions against the policy’s implementation had earlier been stayed — by the Supreme Court in January in the case of rulings out of Riverside, California, and Seattle and by the US District Court in Baltimore on March 7 — the Pentagon, on March 12, announced that the ban proposed by then-Defense Secretary James Matti

by echoing the concerns most commonly spouted by the far right.
The Equality Act, which is expected to pass the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act and related federal laws to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public education, public accommodations, credit, federal funding, and the jury system.
Every Democratic member of the Senate has signed on to support the bill except for Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who said on March 18 that the current version does not provide “sufficient guidance to the local officials who will be responsible for implementing it, particularly with respect to students transitioning between genders in public schools.”
Manchin’s opposition to the bill, which is especially glaring considering that Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins is cosponsoring it as are two GOP members of the House, reflects the baseless common narrative among conservative

Article of the Week

‘The Other Two’ is the Gayest Show on TV Right Now

With deep-dive jokes about "Instagays" and straight girls at queer bars, writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider are reading gay culture like no other series has before.

If you follow any amount of LGBTQ people on social media, you've probably heard the rave reviews about Comedy Central's The Other Two by now. Created by former Saturday Night Live head writers Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, this sitcom about the older siblings of a 13-year-old internet celebrity is gaining a reputation for subtle, instant-meme-worthy comedy about gay culture — and frankly, they didn't have to come for us that hard.

While Chase Dreams (Case Walker) gets instant fame and success from a viral music video, his brother Carey (Drew Tarver) struggles to make it as a gay actor, and his sister Brooke (Heléne Yorke) ends up working as his assistant and trying to pull her personal life together.

The latest episode, airing on Comedy Central at 10:30 p.m. Eastern, sees Carey trying to land an audition with the latest American Crime Story series, but he has to reach a certain number of Instagram followers to even be considered. He starts hanging out with a group of gay social media influencers so they'll tag him in all their selfies, and the portrayal of "Instagays" who "run around with no shirt on, posting song lyrics that have nothing to do with the pic he's put up" is so spot-on it's almost painful.

We recently talked to Kelly and Schneider about why they decided to explore this specific online culture. We mean, Carey and Brooke had awkward interactions with the queer community. Fortunately, their years on SNL inspired and aided them to indulge in a more niche style of comedy. (Mild spoilers ahead.)

Gayties.com: Congratulations on being renewed for Season 2. Were you expecting the enthusiastic response this show has received?

Sarah Schneider: We're excited! It's always gratifying when you put something out there and people reach out to you saying, 'I relate to this!' or 'This really speaks to me!' That’s always so nice to hear.

Chris Kelly: People have been commenting and mentioning the smallest moments or specific lines that they relate to, and that's very fulfilling. You work on something for so long, you forget all the details and you never know what someone is going to notice or not notice. It's been very cool.

For this upcoming episode about the Instagays, there's a clip of Carey at a pool party asking gay influencers, "So, what do you do?" YouTube star Tyler Oakley retweeted that clip and said he's "finally feeling represented in media." We haven't really seen a sitcom make fun of this online culture in such a specific way before. Were you leaning into the fact that audiences consume entertainment as much online as they do with TV?

Kelly: It was just something we talked about a lot in the room. We wanted to brainstorm different parts of the entertainment industry that [Carey and Brooke] could be having to experience, and at the same time, we wanted to make sure it wasn't something we'd seen on TV a thousand times. That just felt like something new and fresh that we hadn’t seen before. Our room had a lot of gay writers in it, and [gay influencers] was something that we all knew so deeply, and we followed so many of them. Once we started spit-balling and coming up with jokes, it just came so easy that we were like; this is enough for an episode, because everyone has so many opinions on them.

Schneider: Even the non-gay writers in the room were like, 'Oh yeah, we're aware. That has gotten to us.'

Kelly: Yeah, it's not just gay people, but it's definitely a subset of this type of person on Instagram and social media.

Schneider: We wrote this episode early last year, like a year ago, and we were like, 'Please, nobody beat us to this!' We hadn't seen it [on television] yet, but we were like, people must be noticing and talking about this.

This episode is actually well-timed, because there was a recent article about gay influencers potentially promoting an unhealthy body image; and the Fyre Festival documentaries portray social media influencers as this toxic, narcissistic culture. But The Other Two takes a much kinder and funnier approach to the subject — why is that?

Kelly: We didn't want to go in and just be mean to these guys. We never wanted our show to be mean or overly cynical toward a group of people. We wanted to have fun at their expense and make fun of them a little bit, but we also show that Carey is the villain in this situation. It was important that over the course of the episode, if you really think about it, they are nothing but nice to him. Yeah, it is a little bit dumb, what do they do for a living, but they are friendly to him and kind and ask him to hang out. They never do anything wrong. Carey's frustration is just based on the fact that they're not working as hard as he is. It's just coming so easily for them.

Schneider: Going in, we knew we didn't want to stereotype them; we wanted them to feel real. Like Chris was saying, we liked showing the idea that any group in society can be dismissed if you don't spend the time to get to know them, as lofty as that idea sounds. We liked the idea that we get to know them a little bit and see their point of view when Carey starts saying, 'This is all you do, you don't work.' We liked seeing both aspects of it.

Special Features of GayTies

Our Wonderful Videos
There are sites that show standard gay videos. Those gay clips, on those sites can be very repetitive and boring. But on GayTies we specialize in all the international amateur videos we can find that catch guys naked in public or in a locker room or shower room when a team is celebrating a big win. We love all the videos that are caught on private cell phones and planted hidden cams where naked men are caught in public or private events, especially doing some very silly stuff.

Some of the topics you will see are nude men pranked to run around the block naked or run through the campus quad nude. Guys naked in public is a very favorite topic on GayTies.com. Some of these hunky guys had to get drunk to expose themselves. And of course, we have vids on naturally nude guys, nude massages, doctors’ examine, sports videos where uniforms get actually ripped off and are shown on broadcast TV. Many times there is a streaker who strips naked and runs around the field. When they show this on TV news, (if they show it) they blur out the guys private parts. WE NEVER BLUR OUT PRIVATE PARTS on gay videos.

Oh yes, we also have kink videos. OK, it’s not for everyone, but we have guys in bondage, leather masters and slaves are popular subjects, muscle men posing in G-strings, nude surfers and swimmers, practical jokes that leave the “victim” stripped naked, and we can’t forget the popular streakers who surprisingly show up everywhere.

Do you know GayTies.com has nearly 3,000 of these types of videos running from short clips to full length videos. (Just to sneak this in, we have over 20,000 naked mens photos too.)

Nearly 80 percent are free with the basic membership. And the basic membership is free also. We don’t even ask for a credit card because you don’t need one. You just need to be a legal adult and complete a short sign-up form, … AND … THAT IS TI!
